Question:237 Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for Education if her attention has been drawn to the fact that (1) there is a serious overcrowding situation in Maynooth post-primary school, County Kildare with more than 100 extra pupils being catered for, (2) the introduction of the new six-year cycle will result in this school automatically having an additional increase of approximately 100 pupils, thereby having 200 more pupils than the school was built to cope with; if in view of the continued expansion of Maynooth town and surrounding areas, she will now outline when the second phase of extension to Maynooth post-primary school will be given the go ahead; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
